I would like to say a very heartfelt thanks to the staff of Lark Ward especially Katie, David and Kelly. They cared for my Dad, Gordon in the last months of his life with compassion, dignity, empathy but with a touch of humour and banter that Gordon enjoyed. They were really supportive to our
family and always had a smile. Once again, thank you.

Overall, Figbury Lodge is good, and the staff are very caring, kind and helpful, but unfortunately, as with hospitals/care homes, there is a shortage of staff, especially during meal times and staff breaks. My husband often had to wait longer than he should for repositioning, pad changes and being
put back to bed after sitting in a recliner. There seemed to be a lack of communication between therapists and carers. There should be a more viable and better mechanism for sharing the key factors, i.e. whether diabetic, how often the patient needs repositioning and advice regarding repositioning and how to use repositioning aids, i.e. wedges and supports. If repositioning is 2 hourly, it should be 2 hours and not 3 or 4.
The carpet was extremely stained and dirty in the room.

My Nan recently had a stayed at figbury lodge for 8weeks. she often told us when we went to visit that the carers were good to her and some staff felt like family and she enjoyed having a good laugh each day with them. She was very anxious when she first arrived at figbury but she soon settled.
Would highly recommend this care home.

As my Mum has only been in Figbury Lodge a few days, this is my first impression. Friendly, helpful staff and very clean throughout. The lovely large, bright room with on suite wet room makes my mum's mobility issues so much easier. The gorgeous enclosed grounds are a bonus for the residents.

My father has been in Figbury Lodge for almost a month now. I am very pleased with the way dad is looked after; he seems happy and contented, and most of all, he is in a safe environment with great staff and a happy atmosphere. Thank you to all the staff who care for my dad. A huge pat on the back
to you all.

On the whole, we are satisfied with the service. My husband is a difficult resident mainly to due his frustration due to lack of mobility. We had had a number of issues, but now mainly been resolved.

We could not ask for a better care home for my mother during her last few months. All the staff, without exception, were not only caring but also polite, helpful and accommodating. The transition from hospital to care home and onward to the funeral directors was seamless and carried out with respect
and dignity. We would thoroughly recommend Figbury lodge.

Sadly my husband wasn't at Figbury Lodge for very long as he passed away in May, but for the few months he was there he was treated with dignity and respect and given the very best care. On my husband's passing, I felt I was supported by the whole team at such a sad time. I go back and visit now and
again and always feel welcome. Thank you to everyone.

My mum was admitted as a resident at Figbury Lodge to enable my husband and I some respite whilst taking a break. I cannot thank Figbury Lodge enough for the care my mum received during this period. The staff I feel went over and above to ensure mum's anxiety about being placed here (or any home)
was negated by their care, respect, and humility. Mum's last words whilst saying goodbye to the other residents were "see you again". I think this says and speaks for itself of both her and our experience.

Some of the staff really cared, while others I felt were just doing a job. When my mum didn't eat I fed her, which is what a staff member could do as I can't visit very often. The rooms are lovely. I had to wash her drinking glass as it was dirty and she had the same one for several days.

During the evening meal get-together, everyone was really friendly and made my nan smile and laugh. The carers seem to really get to know who they are looking after and make them feel at home.

My husband came here in April and I have found that all the staff are very friendly towards him and me. He cannot talk very well and they are very patient in trying to understand what he is saying.
